Presentation Outline
Introduction to MIA Program Overview and History Module 1: Review of Form A Instructions Definitions Guidance/Best Practices Significant Updates Naming Conventions for Annular Spaces Module 2: Form A Form A Overview Form A Use with Examples Form A 2-Year Example and Data Transfers Module 3: Form B Form B Overview Form B Use with Examples Form B Data Transfers
Module 2: Form A
Form A Overview Only compatible with Microsoft Excel versions
2007 or later Color Coding of Cells:
YELLOW-SHADED boxes MUST BE COMPLETED
BLUE-SHADED boxes are OPTIONAL INSPECTION COMPONENTS or used to ACTIVATE OTHER FUNCTIONS
WHITE-SHADED boxes are AUTO-POPULATED
HATCHED boxes are NOT RELEVANT FOR THE WELL BEING EVALUATED
Allows up to 250 wells to be monitored for four consecutive quarters
Module 2: Form A
Form A Overview Well construction details only need to be entered
ONCE; information is retained when creating templates for subsequent years
Module 2: Form A
Form A Overview If conditions at the well remain unchanged
between quarters, or are mostly static, data can be automatically transferred to the most recent quarter and manual edits made as needed
Module 2: Form A
Form A Overview If well is set up incorrectly, the RESET SECTION
feature allows the user to set up the well a second time
WARNING:
THIS FEATURE WILL DELETE ALL INFORMATION ENTERED FOR THE WELL!
Module 2: Form A
Form A Overview Duplicate API numbers are automatically flagged in
Form A and should be corrected
Module 2: Form A
Form A Overview When all quarterly inspection data have been
entered for the year and any duplicate API numbers are corrected, a data summary sheet should be created for submittal to DEP
Module 2: Form A
Form A Overview To create a template for receiving the following
year’s inspection data, answer question 26. “Y” and select button 27.
